    You cannot use an NDA to force someone to help you cover your a crime. That’s illegal.

    So there’s a 0% chance that Trump would ever do something like that.

      The thing is that the people who make you sign the agreement want you to think it’s enforceable. It simply isn’t.

      There was a case where the big Silicon Valley companies entered into a mutual agreement to not only have their employees sign non-competes, but colluded to not hire each other’s employees. They were sued and lost, and everyone working for them at the time got a check.

      I’ve signed the NDAs that will get you an orange jumpsuit if you break them. Those are the ones written by places like the DoD. Some Trump lawyer saying you must cover up a crime because of a personal NDA you signed with him as President would have absolutely zero effect on my testifying, because it has no legal basis for enforcement.

        Do you seriously think he would consult with a court before making one of his employees sign an NDA?

          That’s irrelevant? The court will override any NDA you may have signed if you’re a witness to a crime.

            That’s not how NDAs work. You make your employees sign them and then they’re afraid to do or say anything that might provoke you into suing them, regardless of whether it’ll even hold up in court. It’s all about intimidation.

      But you can’t do a crime to cover the crimes you’re already criming!
